This letter serves as an update to the conditions of Iraqi-Assyrians in Alqosh, Iraq.

We have been informed that the KRG had deployed 3,000 more fighters to Alqosh and they are planning to take stand against the Iraqi forces. This conflict can jeopardize the life and security of thousands of Assyrians. The liberation of Alqosh by the Iraqi forces is appreciated by the Assyrians in Diaspora. A peaceful transition from KRG to Iraqi federal government will secure safety of all Assyrians and other minority groups.

The Assyrian Universal Alliance and its affiliate organizations demand the withdrawal of Kurdish forces from the Nineveh Plains, the home to indigenous Assyrians. The past few months, local Assyrians have demonstrated their opposition to illegal occupation of KRG forces in the Ninveh Plains.

We request your excellency to take all the necessary actions protecting the indigenous Assyrians. We pray that in near future Iraq will become peaceful country and all the Iraqis from all ethnicities and religious denominations will enjoy the fruit of peace and democracy.
